Israelites had become an increasing threat to the Egyptians. To solve this problem the Pharaoh ordered all of the newborn male children to be sent into the nile to drown. Moses’s parents had placed him in a waterproof basket and hid him so that he would not drown while his sister watched him from a nearby area. The pharaoh's daughter found moses in the water when she heard him crying and rescued him from the water. She named him moses simply because it means “drawn from the water”. The pharaoh's …show more content…

Much like when Jesus washed the disciples feet Jesus didn’t make Himself higher or equal to people
He lowered Himself below them. He sought out to serve the people and help those to the kingdom of heaven. Moses brought himself below the hebrew people he came to serve them and help them out of slavery no matter what the cost. Moses gave his entire life to God's call just as Jesus did when He died on the cross for us. Faith is formed in trusting in what you may not see. The message that Moses and many others bring to the new testament is walking to the unknown with complete confidence that God will guide your steps when you walk in obedience to His word. Hebrews 11 says that “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see”. Moses had a lot of hopes, he hoped to be reunited with his family, he hoped to see the hebrew people saved, and he hoped that he would help people know of his God. and so he walked and when the walls caved in and when his enemies attacked he continued to walk. Hebrews chapter 11 speaks of many apostles and characters who by walking into the unknown with faith experienced the faithfulness and miracles of God. Today we hope to

Through both the Old and New Testaments, the strongest characters with the most compelling narratives feature, such as Moses, an archetypal redemption storyline throughout their development. These redemption arcs throughout the bible demonstrate how, in order to become a good person, one does not need to be without flaw or sin. Instead, being a good person is being able to overcome and repent from one’s actions and adopt a moral lifestyle. In Exodus, Moses “[kills] and Egyptian and [hides] him in the sand”, and upon discovering that his actions were not secret, “Moses fled from [Egypt] and went to live in Midian” (Exodus 2:12, 15). Despite being an outcast from his homeland as well as a criminal, God chooses Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
